Case Study # 3 - Future Technology

In this case study, we are tasked to watch at least two movies and give some insights about it.

The two movies that I choose to watch are: I,Robot and Wall-E.


WALL-E (2008)

Approximately seven hundred years in the future, the earth is over-run with garbage and devoid of plant and animal life; the consequence of years of environmental degradation and thoughtless consumerism. Humans are now living on the spaceship Axiom after vacating Earth centuries earlier. The original plan was for humans to live in outer space temporarily while cleaning robots prepared Earth for recolonization. However, after seven hundred years, only one cleaning robot remains:WALL-E.

In this 3D animated movie, you cannot identify or should I say hard to tell whether it is real or not. It really looks real. Especially the settings on earth and the looks of the robot. The movie or the author wanted to emphasized what the people wanted to have and epitomizes the desires for a better world or better future. In this movie also highlighted that the robots are created to make our life easier but not to the extent that all people becomes lazy and life will be dependent to robots.


I, Robot (2004)

Set in a future Earth (2035 A.D.) where robots are common assistants and workers for their human owners, this is the story of "robotophobic" Chicago Police Detective Del Spooner's investigation into the murder of Dr. Alfred Lanning, who works at U.S. Robotics, in which a robot, Sonny , appears to be implicated, even though that would mean the robot had violated the Three Laws of Robotics, which is apparently impossible. It seems impossible because.. if robots can break those laws, there's nothing to stop them from taking over the world, as humans have grown to become completely dependent upon their robots. Or maybe... they already have? Aiding Spooner in his investigation is a psychologist, Dr. Susan Calvin, who specializes in the psyches of robots.

The point of view of this movie is that,you cannot control all the robots and can be your slaves forever. There's also a time that the robots would change and can identify what is wrong and right thing to do.


Both Wall-e and I,Robot are movies that shows us the idealistic view of the future. I was amazed in the creation and effects of both movies . However, in my own insights, the "I, Robot" has the more realistic effects compare to the effects of the Wall-E movie. I find I,Robot movie more realistic because of the interaction made by humans and robots as if they were real.

As a future IT professional, what do you think will be your contributions for the development of technology based on what you learned from college? Define each and state its implications towards our IT society and industry.

“Everything changes” and so as our environment specifically, our technology. We need to do nothing but to adapt with it and let it take us where it wants to. Through college, I was taught about my chosen field much and with that, I think in the future I can do things which can contribute to the development of technology. I would suggest the following ideas as an information technology professional in the future. As technology developed, business is also running with it in the same course. Computer Networking for better business affiliations would do. According to dictionary, Computer Networking is a focus within engineering that deals with communication between computer systems or devices. With better communication using the systems, business with be much simplier than what we are using now.

What is Technology? According to Wikipedia, “Technology is the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization. The word technology comes from the Greek technología— téchnē, an "art", "skill" or "craft" and -logía, the study of something, or the branch of knowledge of a discipline.”

Why do we use technology today?

• To connect with other people
• To be entertained
• To make life easier
• To make work faster and more efficient

What are some points that have influenced us?
• The need of the people to use technology in our everyday lives
• Technology helps us in many ways

What are the factors involved in technology change?
• The need of the people for a more efficient technology
